Flow & Recuperation

After taking to her bed for a couple of days with lethargy and mopery, a 124$ trip to the vet for a look-see and some pink medicine, Jinx came into my studio today and jumped up onto the new WIP, rolled about and generally proclaimed herself on the road to recovery. We are all relieved.
I finished up work on what is now titled "XX" and pretty quickly "XX 2 " came together on the design wall. As big as it is, it turns out that I had exactly, to the quarter inch, enough batting to get this piece built. I did some things differently this time, distressing some of the fabrics with sandpaper and rocks to get the worn feeling I wanted.
ps. the original working title of this piece smacked of plagiarism according to the author of a book by the same name. He sicced his literary agent on me and the smell alone was enough to back me off and change the title of this whole series. We'll see what's in a name now that the book will not be mentioned here or anywhere else by me.

Common Sense has become a rare commodity

Still seeing where the fibers lead. Stitched, dyed, flayed or fried, it's still Rock&Roll for me. Mostly, it's me entertaining myself, as usual.
I'm an artist working hard (or hardly working depending on who you talk to or what day of the week it is) to get by like artists everywhere. My medium is fiber, my rare is kind words for fools and my well done is reserved for my crew.
